Deeper & Darker Directions

What up everybody. This week has been kinda sparce so we apologize about that. But today we have some truly dark tracks to highlight. All of these tunes are strictly for sound systems.

As Skream so eloquently put it “if you have no sub theres no point listening”. So, as given away with the quote, the first track we have for you today is from the Godfather himself. This tune embodies the side of Skream that we just can’t get enough of! Sidestepping the aggressive, tear-out styles, he delves extremely deep into frequencies that literally cannot be heard without proper sound. I listened to it on my laptop just to see what it would sound like and wondered how people can judge this type of music without actually hearing it. Nevertheless, the tune is a straight up lurker. A track that pretty much says “eat shit all you haters, I’m still here”, to all the people criticizing his current ventures into mashing up dancefloors real heavy.

Then we have a couple clips from the newest addition to the Deep Medi imprint, Dark Tantrums. Other than release from Kromestar that this guy was featured on and Mala dropping his tune in that XLR8R mix last year, this character has just been off the radar, at least to us. The release, ‘Unborn’/’Storm’, will be Deep Medi’s 54th release and is perfectly suiting for the imprint. Both of the tunes are for the chestplate. Unfortunately these are just short clips but be on the look for the full version once the release drops!

The next track is another from our friend Compa. He is being generous enough to give this tune out for FREE so make sure you grab your copy before the download option gets it’s card pulled. It’s a remix that Compa did of a tune by Skin E called ‘Reveal’. Another extremely heavy production from the hands of Compa. If you didn’t catch the interview we did with him back in November, check it out here, there is also an exlcusive mix he built for us available for download on that post. When we did the interview we said that he was gonna be rising quick in the game and sure enough, over the past few months Compa has secured/cleared the shelves of a release with Boka Records and also launched his ‘Dem A Talk’ remix on white label and that too flew off the shelves in a matter of hours. A lot of good things to be coming from this guy so make sure to keep your eyes on him.

Then to ease things off we have a mix that Killawatt did for Outlook 2012, filled with 100% Killawatt productions. One of the most innovative and amazing producers out there right now, hands down. Fusing sounds together with an insurmountable amount of force. Pushing boundaries, creating new levels, and holding the throne to some of the most amazing percussion in his music. Massive up to Killawatt and his recent success.

Alright fam that’s some of the latest that we’ve got for you this time around. We will see you tomorrow with some more music to move through your bass bins. If you haven’t visited our Facebook page check that out, there is a lot of stuff posted on that as well. Respect.
